Abstract
We report the radiological appearances of 5 children with hemimegalencephaly. There are few reports of this rare condition in the radiological literature. Two of the children have hemimegalencephaly as an isolated finding while the other three have Proteus syndrome. Four children have seizures which commenced within the first 6 months of life and two of these subsequently required hemispherectomy. In addition to the typical radiological features of hemimegalencephaly there was a high incidence of other brain anomalies. These include hypoplasia of the corpus callosum and crus cerebri, grey and white matter calcification and cortical migration/organisational disorders.
